4000 four-axis rotorcraft autopilot for the UH-60 A and A+ Black Hawk helicopters.
Moog Inc. received Supplemental Type Certification (STC) from the FAA for its fully coupled GRC™ 4000 four-axis rotorcraft autopilot for the UH-60 A and A+ Black Hawk helicopters.

Moog received FAA supplemental type certificate (STC) approval for its coupled GRC 4000 four-axis rotorcraft autopilot aboard Sikorsky UH-60 A and A+ Black Hawk helicopters.

Integrated into the Black Hawk Genesys avionics suite, the GRC 4000 was added to the existing Moog avionics STC that is approved for IFR operations, the Mineral Wells, Texas company said, adding that this will reduce pilot workload in IMC and low-altitude operations. Plans call for expanding such approvals to the L and S-70i models in the near term.
